>> For example, how do you decide which vendor is your company going to select for their internal or external business.

Selecting software (commercial or OSS) is no problem. And OSS bring free is a plus in that column.

Paying for commercial software is easy. They give us an invoice, and we pay it. OSS has donated button on a web site. There is absolutely no motivation to click it, and indeed clicking it leads to all kinds of extra hassle and work.

OSS has no business model. That makes it hard for companies that are used to business.
